Comment: I thought it was neat to see everyones presentations. I saw many ideas that I would like to use in my classroom, especially using the codes that Drew shared during reading. I think this idea is great to start with elementary students because it is a skill they can use when they get older too.
Question: Is there a good way to show parents what critical literacy is at a back to school night presentation that doesn't take too long? I was thinking about doing this next year, however I only have 20 minutes to cover a lot of information.
Connection: I related to the program that Christy has at her school (PBIS) however we call it PBS. I have noticed such a positive change in the climate of the school since we began this program. I'm a believer in positive behavior plans. I use Fred Jones in my classroom and my kids love it!

Hi Katie,
Do you remember the blindfold activity i did? I think that is a great and very subtle way of introducing the idea that texts are never neutral etc. These are of course mainstays of CL.
I liked that activity a lot! I plan on using it with my class next year.
